GHA Outage, Cyber Security, Football Chants, Llanitos Abroad

The GHA has confirmed some of its services have been impacted by the global IT outage. Its medical computer system is not working. GBC understands this is used by GPs to book appointments, view patient notes, order prescriptions and make referrals. Shelina Assomull and Jonathan Sacramento told us more about the outage, and we also spoke to the GHA Director General Kevin McGee.  Cyber Security is a hot topic right now - both locally and globally - over the last few days we've been reporting a number of incidents of telephone banking scams with the total amount of money scammed now in the millions. Then this morning, news broke about a massive IT outage, affecting airports, businesses, transport links, supermarkets, and broadcasters around the world. It's an issue which is difficult to understand, it often - quite literally - goes over our heads. Peter Bassill shed some light on the situation. The UEFA conference league qualifier between St Josephs and Shelbourne FC at the Europa Point Stadium was unfortunately overshadowed by chants of “Gibraltar es Espanol” by the Shelbourne fans before the game and after the fulltime whistle was blown by the referee. Jose Mari Ruiz was at the game and heard the chants first-hand. And, on this week’s edition of "Llanitos Abroad", we’re going about as far afield as possible. We caught up with teacher Lynette Pritchard in Australia where it was nearly bedtime! She told us about what life is like down under.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
